Geocache Description:

Think you know Fishiam?

This cache is dedicated to the memory of caching with Fishiam, who committed Geocide II on May 21, 2011.

***Note as of 2015, he lives! He caches internationally now. Regardless, the cache must continue.

***Read the whole description before you start!***

There is a certain local cacher whose puzzles are infamous. I speak, of course, of Fishiam. To actually be able to log a Fishiam cache requires not a small amount of frustration, determination, imagination and good old stickyness.

For the formulas ... if the letter represents a asterisk, use the hyphen. If the ampersand represents a cereal grain, use the inverted square of its symmetrical equivalent (B=3^?, P=8.3, etc.) If the leg bone is connected to the...well, you get the idea. And, typically, if you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Final question: Fishiam is not a Fish Monger, as many have suggested. He is a talented mashup of Fisheries Biologist, Statistician, and Climatologist. In that vein:
